An: Ok, I changed the age of Saito because I did research and I said that Saito was too old. Ne ways, Sorry it took so long to update and I hope you enjoy.

"I'm only 36," Saito snapped glaring at Kenshin, "Anyway are you done?" Kenshin nodded and followed Saito out of the room.
Back at the dojo…
"Kenshin, your back." Kaoru replied running to him, "Did you find anything out?"
"Not really miss Kaoru." Kenshin answered, "Like Saito said he already has a lead."
"Well that's good. Now you don't have to worry about anything." Kaoru exclaimed, "Right Kenshin?"
"Yes, Miss Kaoru." Kenshin said with a little hesitation.
"HEY UGLY!" Yahiko called out, "I'm hungry."
Kaoru face turned red in frustration, "Why don't you eat something?"
"There's nothing in this house!" Yahiko replied in a 'duh' voice.
Kenshin smiled at the two, "Why don't we go out to eat?"
"That sounds great!" Sanosuke suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Kaoru grunted, "No way! I'm not going to buy you lunch again, you still haven't paid me back for last time."
10 minutes later, at Tai's Hot Pot…
"I can't believe I'm paying for you." Kaoru whined bringing out her small purse. Sanosuke smiled an evil grin.
"We'll good morning you guys." Tai said walking up to their booth, "The usual right?" Kenshin replied with a nod, Tai smiled back and lift.
Meanwhile back in the kitchen…
A young woman slipped on an apron, "Thanks again for giving me a job Tai."
"No problem Lara. We needed a new waitress anyway," Tai grabbed a large pot of soup and gave it to Lara, "All right lets see what you got."
Lara spotted the booth and saw Sanosuke sitting down, she walked anxiously to him, "Sanosuke?"
Sanosuke turned to Lara, "Hey, what's up? What are you doing here?"
"The manager here, Tai gave me a job." Lara answered smiling a little.
Kaoru nudged Sano in the side, "Who's this?"
"Sano got a girlfriend!" Yahiko taunted, followed by a whack in the head.
"Shut up, we met yesterday." Sanosuke exclaimed, "ANYWAY, these are my friends, that's Kaoru, that's Yahiko," Sanosuke then turned to Kenshin, "And this is Kenshin."
Lara turned to Kenshin and her smile faded, "Nice to meet you." She paused, tightened her grip on the pot and bowed. Kenshin noticed but smiled back, "You too, miss?"
"Lara." She snapped back as she set down the pot, "Well anyway, I better get back to work."
"Wait, you can stay if you want to." Sanosuke said standing up.
"No it's okay." Lara walked away, she passed another booth when a hand came across her bottom. She immediately reacted with a punch to the man's face. A tooth flew out and bounced off the wall. Once again Lara stomped off turning into the kitchen. The wounded man sat, crawled up in a ball holding a hand over his bleeding mouth.
"It's your own fault man. You shouldn't have touched her." Sanosuke smirked as he sat down. He looked as his friends and began to crack up. They completely froze looking bewildered.
"Wow, I want to be like that." Yahiko replied, "Maybe I should ask her to be my sensei."
"Not so fast Yahiko, if you want a place to stay you'll shut your mouth." Kaoru warned, "I must admit she is pretty strong, but any girl can be tough if they're pushed to hard."
Kenshin fake smiled, "As true as that maybe, I think she has some power of her own."
"Oh yeah! Yesterday, she totally clobbered about 6 policeman." Sanosuke blurted.
"Oh, so it was you. Saito mentioned something that happened yesterday, two people attacked 12 policeman."
Sanosuke slammed a hand on the table, "We didn't attack them, they attacked us!"
Kaoru raised a brow, "Really? And you never start fights on your own?"
"Alright you want to know how it happened? Fine I'll tell." Sanosuke explained the story.
"Excuse me, Tai." Lara replied hanging up her apron.
"Yeah?"
Lara stood staring at the wall, "D-do you know anything about Kenshin?"
"Oh, sir Ken? He's one of nicest guys in Tokyo." Lara clenched her fist, "He has done a lot of things to help the people of live her. Come to think of it, all of them have. Kaoru, Sano, Kenshin even little Yahiko… or he tries anyway." Tai answered with a little laugh.
"Kenshin… I assume Kenshin is Kenshin Himura."
"Yeah, how did you know?" Tai turned to Lara but she was gone, "Huh, that girl is a strange one."
"So, that's it." Sanosuke finished slurping up the last of his sake.
"Remember Sano, they were just doing their jobs." Kenshin replied with one of his stupid smiles.
"Your too much of a softie." Sanosuke said reaching over the table and giving Kenshin a nuggy.
"ORO!"
"Here ya'll are, your bill." Sanosuke slouched down trying to hide, "And you Sanosuke have yet to pay your bill."
Sanosuke sweat dropped, "Well, ya know…. Kaoru."
"Nuh uh, your on your own."
"Come on Tai, give me a break."
Tai sighed, " Fine, I'll scratch it this time."
Sanosuke stood up and stretched out his arms, "Ahhh, so is Lara still here?"
Kaoru smacked Sanosuke in the back of the head, "Why? Do you two have any plans?"
"Of course not! I just, see she owes me a drink." He blushed a little, "Anyway, Tai is she here?"
"No, sorry she left about 5 minutes ago. You might be able to catch her. I think she was heading towards the police station."
Sanosuke jumped over the table, "Alright I'll see you guys later!" He ran out of the restaurant, "Lets see, police station? This way." Sanosuke headed down the busy streets of Tokyo. Running into people along the way, "Excuse me, coming through!"
